Hi,
I have a ZEOS Pentium 90. Due to motherboard limitations,
the CPU cannot be upgraded. Over the years I have upgraded
almost all other components, (HD 6.4GB, 56k modem, etc,
etc).
Instead of buying a new computer, I would like to upgrade
the motherboard and CPU. I am thinking of a BX motherboard
(for future upgrade possibilities) and a Pentium II 300 Mhz.
It seems 300 Mhz is the "sweet spot" as the price increase
to 350 or 400 seems to be substantially more expensive. Of
course I would upgrade to 100Mhz RAM as well, then keep my
other current components.
My questions are as follows:
1. Is this a good idea (as opposed to buying a new system)?
2. Should I go faster than 300 Mhz?
3. Are there any suggestions as to motherboard brands I
should/should not consider?
4. Are there any other issues I should know about?
Thanks,
Steve
